S. B. Andrews Company completed the installation of a 50 KW ground mounted solar installation at 10 North Main Street in West Hartford, CT. The owner was focused on reducing the building’s carbon footprint and had done their homework to realize the potential savings of a commercial solar panel system. After a thorough review by the Earthlight team, it was determined that their roof structure would not support the weight of a solar system large enough to meet their energy needs.

Instead of giving up, the designers at Earthlight suggested an innovative alternative: placing a solar array in the adjacent parking lot. Combined with an engineered raised structure, the solar array doubles as a weather protected carport, adding further convenience and value for the building’s tenants. This is believed to be the first ground mounted commercial solar installation in West Hartford, CT.
